Sustainable Lending Framework by BayernLB
A New Era of Responsible Banking
The Imperative for Sustainable Lending
The world is facing unprecedented environmental and social challenges. Climate change, resource scarcity, and inequality are just a few of the pressing issues that demand our attention. As a leading financial institution, BayernLB recognizes its responsibility to play a role in addressing these challenges. That's why we have developed a comprehensive Sustainable Lending Framework to guide our lending practices and support the transition to a more sustainable future.Key Features of the Framework
- Environmental and Social Risk Assessment: We assess the environmental and social impacts of all lending decisions to identify and mitigate potential risks.
- Sustainability Criteria: We have established clear sustainability criteria that projects must meet to qualify for our financing.
- Engagement with Clients: We actively engage with our clients to support their sustainability goals and provide guidance on best practices.
- Transparency and Reporting: We disclose our sustainable lending activities and progress in an annual report.
Benefits of Sustainable Lending

- Social Impact: We invest in projects that create jobs, improve living conditions, and promote social justice.
- Financial Returns: Sustainable lending can also generate positive financial returns for investors.
- Reputation and Brand Value: BayernLB's commitment to sustainability enhances our reputation and brand value as a responsible bank.
